\item For Job has said, ``I'm in the right, and God has diverted my case. He lies about my case, I'm sore-wounded from His shaft for no crime.''\footnote{A twisting of words, but a subtle one. Job says that he believes himself innocent and would like for God to come and account for His actions. Alas, accurate representation never stood between Elihu and a quip.} (Job 34:5-6, Alter)
\item Should He by your dictates mete out justice, for it is you who reject or choose, not I? And what do you know? --- speak. (Job 34:33, Alter)
